Wish there was a quicker way to get verified

[Dago]

I’d like to respond to a classified post but can’t view photos or PM.

Sorry, but we had problems with 'bots that would get registered and flood the forum with ads for all kinds of ridiculous stuff like male enhancement pills, Russian cement factories, bogus high end goods, etc. As a result we went to first a 2 post and now a 3 post requirement for "full membership".

I wish we could do otherwise, but if we let everybody in with one post we'd be swamped with junk.

[Dago]

Understood. Thanks!

I just found the three post requirement. Thanks!

[kdsstg]

Piggybacking on this to get my third. Thanks!

Been on and off this site for around a year now, but have never commented. Decided I should start now so I can see classified posts again since I'm getting the "You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post." alert.

Thanks!

I'll piggy back for verification as well

[tincanbanjo]

Me three!

[BGuttman]

Me three!

Speaking of three, you need one more post to be verified

[Jackjack]

I want also verification:)

[TomWest]

Speaking of getting verified, this will be post #1. I’ve been lurking for a while… So I’ll go legit now.

Just wish there was a tab of the verification req’s but glad I found this!

There is only one requirement: make three posts that are approved by a moderator.

There' a sticky in the Announcements section:
viewtopic.php?t=41

I've thoughtabout making a bot or something that sends you a PM right away, but one of the things that is restricted is PMs, so that actually wouldn't help since new people wouldn't be able to see it.

Thank you Bruce for the Information.
